Ben Woolliss Set for Second ONE Championship Bout on Sky Sports
Following his impressive debut in the ONE Championship, British fighter Ben Woolliss is scheduled to return to the ring on May 16, with the event broadcast live on Sky Sports. Woolliss will face off against Petchtanong Petchfergus in a bantamweight kickboxing match at the Lumpinee Stadium in Thailand. This will be a challenging bout for Woolliss, as Petchfergus is a former ONE bantamweight kickboxing world champion. Despite struggling with health issues in recent years, Woolliss has shown his resilience by signing with ONE and making a successful debut last month. He took on his first assignment on short notice, defeating former ONE bantamweight MMA world champion John Lineker in a featherweight kickboxing match. Woolliss's victory over Lineker was impressive, with a one-round stoppage win due to damaging low kicks. The main event on May 16 will feature Chinese star Tang Kai defending his ONE featherweight MMA world title against Shamil Gasanov. Kai has been dominant in his featherweight MMA career, while Gasanov boasts a near-flawless record, with a strong stand-up game and grappling expertise.
